What if mine wants to advance us in the creation of this space and is a user of the AOC transparency portal?
At an operational level, and for those entities that want to make these spaces available to the public, the transparency portal offered by the AOC Consortium has the possibility of create your own transparency items.
In this sense, the creation of an own item “COVID-19”, in the family of Institutional and Organizational Information, that facilitates to advance in personalized descriptions (following the recommendations of Antifraud) could be an effective solution.
Duplication of information should be avoided, however minimize the efforts of AAPP workers in their obligation to publish information. The COVID-10 item created ad-hoc could incorporate links to information from the entity's own transparency portal or website, documents, tables or images, being therefore a simple option and open enough to be able to respond. .
For those who choose to deploy this space, remember that on the main page of the transparency portal you can choose to highlight the item to the highlights, and / or edit any of the proposed banners reinforcing the image and access to the space in question.
